SUCCESS IN LIFE. 

Few men in the ordinary pursuits of life come up fully to their real capabili- 
ties. It is true that some, by mere accident or good fortune, without any 
very definite knowledge of their own mental powers, stumble upon a situation 
to which they happen to be well adapted, and in which without a struggle 
or seeming effort, they rise to eminence. 

They are said to be " lucky,"' while thousands of other men, more highly 
educated, and with force and energy of character, pursue respectable though 
Borne and *' up-hill 91 employment chosen without regard to their adapta- 
tion to it, which brings them " neither honor nor profit." These get a living, 
while many more drag on an unhappy existence, complaining of their hard 
lot, and end their days in 6ore disappointment, pronouncing life a failure. 

We have a remedy for this. It is scientific and therefore reliable. By 
the aid of Phrenology the true character with all its capabilities can be indi- 
cated ; the most suitable calling, profession or occupation to which each per- 
son is adapted, and in which he may best succeed, can be plainly pointed out, 
and you", reader, may thus learn 

HOW TO RISE IN THE WORLD, 

and thus make^the most of your talents. It is through the aid of Phrenology 
Physiognomy and Physiology. 

Parents wish to insure for their children all the blessings which judicious 
training and right direction can secure, and there is no other means whereby 
these ends may be so surely attained as by the aid of this science. By 
hiving their characters fully described and carefully written out, you will 
have before you a " chart" which will s^rve to keep them in the right direc- 
tion, to avoid the quicksands and the rocks on which too many unfortunate 
human barks founder and are lost. But the question is repeated, 

WHAT CAN I DO BEST? 

Can I succeed as an Attorney, Artist, or Author ? as a Banker, Bookseller 
or Blacksmith? a Carpenter, Cashier, Clerk, or Chemist? a Dentist, Design- 
er or Diplomatist ? an Editor, Engineer, or Explorer ? a Farmer, Fisherman 
or Florist? a Grocer, Geographer, or General? Can I Invent, Lecture, or 
Legislate ? Can I succeed as a Manufacturer, Merchant or Machinist ? In 
Navigation, Oratory or Paiiiting ? As a Preacher, Physician or Printer ? As 
a Poet, President, or Policeman ' A Sailor, Soldier, or Sculptor ? A Teach- 
er Tragedian, or Tailor ? A Writer, a Warrior, a Watchmaker or a Watch- 
man? Pray wh,o can tell, with scientific certainty, What I can do best ? 

Call on Professor Wickes, and obtain his PhrEno-Chart and Compass 
or Life, hive your heal examined, your character written out in full, with a 
chart of your developments, and you miy then know for a certainty what 
yon are, as compared with others ; what you can do best, and how you may 
11 rise in the world," and turn all your talents to the very best pos-ihle u<>.\ 
The cost for the service will be comparatively small, while the benefit de 
rived would be of great value tj any individual.

GALL. SPURZHEIM. COMBE. 

THE TRIUXE PHREXO-PHILOSOPHERS. 

A NEW SYSTEM OF PHRENO-PHYSIOGtfOMY, AND MANY 
NEWLY-DISCOVERED PHEENO-ORGANS. 

Having devoted more than twelve years to investigation, travel, observa- 
tion and inquiry, as a student of the Science of Mind, this system is the result. 
I ask that it be examined thoroughly. Let not friendship favor it, nor charity 
spare its faults ; but let the keen edge of truthful criticism lay bare its defects 
with remorseless justice ; error deserves no friends, and truth can safely bid 
defiance to all its enemies. I have no selfish wish to propagate doctrines, 
merely because they are my own. No one can be more eager to worship in 
the temple of truth, no one more desirous to sacrifice his own egotism at her 
shri::e. 

All human performances are necessarily imperfect ; but I doubt whether in 
the whole round of the sciences anything more beautifully systematic can be 
found, than is exhibited in the arrangement of the Phreno-organs as thus set 
forth. 

The study of human nature, has, in all ages, been deemed of the very first 
importance, and called into vigorous action the master minds of every civilized 
nation. But the numerous systems that have been successively produced and 
abandoned, afford sufficient evidence that the great fundamental principles of 
human nature have never been discovered. Some philosophers had shut them- 
selves in their closets, and endeavored, by reflecting upon the operations of 
their own minds, to frame a system of mental philosophy which would appy 
to all mankind. But the result was that they only acquired an imperfect h"s- 
tory of a few ot their own mental powers, while they remained in total igno- 
rance of the causes which produce the great diversity of human character. 

Others have -endeavored to acquire a knowledge of man by traveling, and 
mingling with all classes and conditions of the human race. Those were more 
succes-ful ; but however much knowledge might, by the experience of a whole 
life, be acquired in this manner, it necessarily died with the individual, as it 
was of such a nature that it could not be communicated. 

Anatomical investigation is a method of studying human nature; but al- 
though this leads to more correct conceptions in regard to the functions of the 
body, it sheds no light upon the operations of the mind The study of Physiog- 
nomy, is another method ; it has been pursued since the days of Ar'stot'e, Tiieo- 
phrastus and Zopyrus, among the ancients, to the attempts of Camper and L iva 
ter of our own day ; but the real success which has attended the labors of phy- 



6 PREFACE. 

siognomists, is really owing to their approximation to the great truths of 
Phrenology though they were utterly ignorant of this science. By examining 
the work of Camper and Lavater, it will be -found that the few useful truths 
which they contain are based upon the principles explained in this work. 

The foundation of Phrenological science was laid by the discoveries of F. S. 
Gall, a native of Germany, who was born March 9th, 1757. His attention was 
first directed to the subject while a school buy, from noticing the singular 
circumstance that those boys who committed the- words of their lessons to 
memory with the greatest ease, had prominent eyes. He next observed that 
those who excelled in the memory of places, had a peculiar prominence upon 
the forehead. After leaving the University, he commenced the practice of med- 
icine. He was now a man of science — his very profession led him to study hu- 
man nature in connection with the human constitution — and he began to reflect 
— "|If the prominence of one part of the head indicates one talent, and the 
prominence of another part indicates another, may not all the talents and dis- 
positions of men be indicated by the development of different parts of the 
head ?" The suggestion seemed plausible. He accordingly, having vainly ex- 
amined all the authors on mental philosophy, began the observation of heads 
of peculiar characters. He was successful, even beyond his most ardent hopes ; 
for he soon discovered external indications of talents for painting, poetry, and 
the mechanic arts, besides several of the moral and animal propensities. Gall's 
first publication on the subject was in 1798. He very naturally failed to give 
system to the facts which he had discovered ; and the names which he gave to 
the organs were unph losophical. In 1801, fortunately for the science, John 
Gasper Spurzheim, also a German, became a pupil of Gall, and in 1804 was ad- 
mitted as his partner. 

In 1802, the lectures of Dr. Gall at Vienna, which had continued for five 
years, were prohibited by order of the government, obtained through, the influ- 
ence of the clergy. In 1805, Gall and Spurzheim left Vienna, and traveled to 
some of the other cities of Europe, lecturing upon and diss eminating their doc- 
trines. In 1807, Gall arrived at Paris, and remained there until his death, 
which took place in 1828. 

Spurzheim dissolved his partnership with Gall in 1813, and in 1814 visited 
Great Britain, lecturing in the principal cities. 

In 1817, he returned to Paris. In 1824, the lectures, of Gall and Spurz- 
heim at Paris were prohibited by an order of the government. Spurzheim 
again visited Great Britain in 1825, where he afterwards spent most of his time 
until June 20, 1832, when he sailed from Havre, and arrived at New York, 
August 4. He remained in New York until the 11th, when he proceeded to New 
Haven. On the 16th he left for Hartford, and from that city he went to Bos- 
ton, where he arrived on the 20th. He gave a course of lectures in Boston, and 
anolher at Cambridge. This was the last labor of Spurzheim in the cause of 
science. A slow, continued fever, not at fir. t considered dangerous, finally 
proved fatal, and he died at Boston, Nov. 10, 1832. 

No man was ever more sincerely lamented. The most distinguished tokens 
of love and regard were extended to him while living, and the highest testimo- 
nials of grateful reverence followed him to the grave. His beautiful monument 
at Mount Auburn, is but an emblem of the pure affection with which his mem- 
ory is cherished. The marble may parish, and the place of burial be forgotten, 



V n E P A C E. 7 

but the names of Gall and Spurzheim are immortal. They must always be as- 
ited with principles that will be known and appreciated while science has a 
temple or a devotee on the earth. 

Dr. Gall laid the foundation of Phrenological science by discovering that 
where the skull protruded in a peculiar manner, the character and talents of the 
individual were indicated hy the protr ision. 

Upon a careful examination, he ascertained that the protrusions of the skull 
were generally caused by developments of portions of the brain immediately 
beneath ; these portions he called Organs. His examinations of the brain led 
him to the important fact, that its principal internal parts are constituted of 
fibers extending from the circumference of the brain to the central medulla 
oblongata, and that these fibers were crossed by others which proceeded in an 
opposite direction. Dr. Gall took a profound view of the subject, and conceived 
that, in consequence of his discoveries a great revolution must take place in the 
science of the mind. He proceeded to learn the truth by observations made 
upon animals and men — upon the living and the dead — upon sculptured busts 
and painted portraits ; and after a whole life spent in laborious researches, with 
the assistance of his distinguished pupil, Dr. Spurzheim, he succeeded in pla- 
cing the science upon a solid and enduring basis. It had imperfections — it was 
mingled with error — a part only of the truth was known, but enough was dis- 
closed to show that all previous systems were false, and that the right path had 
at length been discovered. No one was more sensible than Dr. Gall himself, 
that the science was imperfect, lie did not attempt to arrange and classify 
the organs upon any philosophical plan, for he had not obtained a sufficient 
number of facts. He w^as not a friend to new theories and schemes, the re- 
sults of mere human ingenuity, but labored wi h incredible patience and in- 
dustry to discover the laws which the Almighty had ordained to regulate the 
science of mind ; and he continually insisted that carefully observe d facts are 
the only sure elements of science, and the only reliable indications of the nat- 
ural laws which God has established in the constitution of man. 

Dr. Spurzheim attempted to systematize the d<coveries of Gall and him- 
self, aid to reduce them to a science. He divided the organs into two grand 
divisions, one of which he denominated the Intellectual faculties — they are 
located in the forehead. The other grand division he denominated the Affec- 
tive faculties. He sub-divided the Affective faculties into Animal Propensi- 
ties and Moral Sentiments, and ascribed certain peculiar emotions to the 
moral sentiments, (located in the upper part of the head) which he supposed 
that the atiimal propensities (in the lower part of the head.) did not possess. 
Nearly all the phrenological writers, (in our language at least) have agreed 
with Spurzheim in his arrangement and sub-divisions. (See cuts.) 

The mantle of Gall and Spurzheim rested upon the immortal Combe who 
became the great moral phreno-philosopher of his age. 

In Europe there are some indications that Phrenology will be permanently 
established upon the institutions of learning. I understand that Dr. Robert- 
son, of Paris, has, by his will, left $60,000 to the Edinburgh Phrenological So- 
ciety, and I have also been informed that a Professorship of Phrenology has 
been established in one of the Universities of Scotland. In this country a 
conviction is settling in the minds of all educated and thinking men that the 
principles and leading facts of phrenology are true. 




This "Miniature Chart and Compass of Life" is designed as a Mirror 
of the Soul of the Individual for whom it is marked ; to reflect a perfect image 
of the entire character in miniature ; to give a delineation or analysis of every 
mental power and business qualification ; to guide and direct in life's struggling 
battle ; point out the road to Health, Harmony, Success, Happiness and Eter- 
nal Life. 

It is needless to enumerate the immense benefits that any one may derive 
from a correct knowledge of himself. How few know themselves, or form a 
correct estimate of their own capabilities for any pursuit in life, or understand 
how to change the temperaments, cultivate deficient faculties, or make the best 
use of their gifts. 

Make your calling, election, or profession sure. 

Endless Progression or Eternal Death is the destiny of Man. 

The Science of Mind is the key to all truth. 

True wealth is inexhaustible. 

Our talent is never less by imparting to others. 

Success in life depends upon a right direction of talent. Youth is prophetic. 
Every individual has his peculiar gifts and calling. Covet earnestly the best 
gifts, yet despise not the one talent. The humble violet contrasts beautifully 
with the queenly rose ; the strawberry which ripens so lowly in the grass, is 
more delicious than the acorn upon the lofty oak. None are great in all things, 
where there is a hill there is a valley ; a gift, a deficiency. 

Woman is more intuitive than man, because finer and more sensitive. In-. 
tuition is often superior to reason. Trie soul has feelers, coming events cast 
their shadows before. Spiritual intuition is living faith in God. 

A high head indicates aspiration, faith, hope charity ; these are the high- 
est faculties of the brain ; they give the greatest liberty, scope and enjoyment to 
the mind. As the blood, which is the life element kept in operation by the con- 
stant action of the heart and lungs, must pass through all the lower faculties 
before it can reach these, so by their cultivation we harmonize and perfect the 
whole man. 

We should be sons of God, with all the temperaments, and faculties blended 
and harmonized like the colors in light. The different faculties of the mind are 
but different grades of love. The world is full of beauty when the heart is full 
of love. " God is love." Thus in man is created the image of God. 

The brain is attractive, positive and nega'ive, evolves magnetism and elec- 
tricity, is controled by the mind or spirit, and thus keeps up the perpetual mo- 
tion of the nervous s.ystem. The more sensitive a person becomes, the more 
susceptible of magnetism and psychological influence. The mind is like a harp 
of a thousand strings, composed of as many faculties as there are attributes in 
Deity, and capable of discerning and comprehending the trains of the Universe. 
Truth is a unit, and God is a unit. Truths cannot conflict. No revelation or 
construction of Scripture conflicting with known truth cai be of God. God is 
not the Author of confusion but of peace. The spirit of truth will teach us all 
things. " He is a Freeman whom the truth makes free." 



INTRODUCTION. 9 

Physiology in its relation to the laws of life, is the science of the func- 
tions of the entire Natural Man. Phrenology is that part of Physiology 
which embraces the brain and nervous system, through which the mind is said 
to he manifested. Physiognomy is the art of discerning character by the ex- 
ternal signs of the countenance. Psychology relates to man's spiritual na- 
ture, or to the science of the soul. Biology, the science of life, is only anoth- 
er name for Physiology, and may be used synonymously therewith. 

Ths little volume is intended as " The Compass of Life, and Miniature Phre- 
no-Chart of the Mind." It will point out the way, and direct the mariner on 
life's tr ubled sea ; be a sure and safe guide through the storms and trials of 
the voyage. When the Heavens are black with disappointment and the earth 
rent with volcanic fires, this will be the anchor of hope, the rule of faith and 
practice, (to those for whom it is correctly marked) founded in the oracles of 
God Avithin ; the law of love in the mind ; the first principles of eternal truth ; 
the unchangeable laws of mind and matter. 

It will show the harmony and unity of Truth, Science and Revelation, — 
heralding the dawn of a better day, when earth shall be wedded to heaven. No- 
thing benefits the mind so much as a clear comprehension of its own peculiar 
powers. Nothing cultivates it so much as the effort to use those powers when 
recognised — to impa t the jewels of thought and experience — the endless va- 
riety of truths we have gathered in life's dear school, where the Almighty has 
moulded us for our especial work. 

It is criminal to hide the gifts and talents God has bestowed upon us. We 
should labor to enrich and enlighten each other ; our light is never less by 
lighting our neighbors. 

We therefore send forth our " Chart and Compass" as an effort of our youth- 
ful mind, hoping, dear reader, you, and all who may candidly peruse these pa- 
ges, may be blessed and assisted by them in life's battles. We have gathered 
very many golden items and gems of truth along our checkered journey of 
life — carefully examined every know r n system in Europe and America — and have 
pursued the study of mind for many years with patience and perseverance ; 
visiting in our varied researches the asylums and prisons of our country, and 
laboring with energy and industry to teach and establish our new system of 
Phreno-Physiognomy. We challenge objection and court criticism. We aim 
to be original, earnest and practical ; and have many friendly testimonials re- 
ceived during these years of labor from those who were interested or instructed 
by our Lectures and examinations. Like the bee, we have gathered treasures 
from every flower, endeavoring to condense the essence of other systems and 
extract the good and truth from all. Nevertheless, the work being somewhat 
hastily written, during th-3 changes and fatigues incident to a traveler's life, un- 
doubtedly contains some errors, which to the jealous eyes of those who do not 
sympathise with the views of the author, may afford room for unkindly crit'.- 
c sin. We hope, however, to perfect ourselves, and at a future period issue our 
" Illustrated Symbolical Phreno-Chart and Compass of Life" as the most com- 
plete and interesting work of its kind ever presented to the public. 

We design to illustrate the " Symbolical Phreno-Chart" with appropriate 
•teel engravings, original cuts, and portraits of notable characters now living. 
This work is intended as a kind of introduction to the forthcoming volume-

•* This is the covenant that T will make with 1hem. After those days, saith 
the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write 
them."— Heb. 10 : 16. 

The Science of Mind is the key to all truth. 

Self-knowledge is the first step to greatness 

Cultivated talent constitutes the wealth of the soul. 



Harmony of Phrenology with the Bible, 

In every age of the world mankind have demanded that every new scientific 
discovery should be judged by the Sacred Scriptures, and condemned if it did 
not seem to harmonize with them. Three hundred }*ears ago the teachers of 
Astronomy were hunted as the enemies of religion ; and less than fifty years 
ago the Geologist was called an infidel. The recognition of two facts has 
changed the public sentiment of the religious world, One of these is that the 
Bible was given us as a guide in morals and religion, and not as a manual of 
physical science ; the other fact is, that on investigation of the spirit of Scrip- 
ture and the facts of science, it is found that they do not disagree, and that 
the latter in many respects tends to corroborate the truth and enforce the 
claims of the former. This is eminently true of Phrenology, because revelation 
is a moral, spiritual and passional guide to man, and therefore occupies the 
same ground as that science which has to do solely with the mental and pas- 
sional nature. It would therefore be expected that the Bible, in treating of 
the duties and destinies of the race, would recognise each mental power and 
passion, each aspiration and emotion ; not only to permit and guide the 
action of each passion and faculty, but to warn and to threaten against their 
abuse. 

That this is done in express and vivid terms will be observed by perusing 
the quotations we have made ; and any person familiar with the Scriptures will 
readily perceive that passages appropriate to each mental organ might have 
been multiplied to a much greater extent. 

That the Bible recognises every passion and faculty which is claimed by 
Phrenology to be a part of man's complicated mental being, the perusal of the 
following pages will abundantly attest. In their preparation the temptation 
has been to extend the quotations. The Bible is full, everywhere, of passages 
pertinent and beautiful, illustrating the fact that the Divine Author of our being 
was also the author of that book, which is unsurpassed in its life-like pictures 
of human nature in all its phases. We believe that the Christian religion has 
nothing to fear from science. ; and as "true religion is central truth, all know- 
ledge should be gathered around it."

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. 



WASHINGTON. 



A GLANCE AT PHYSIOGNOMY. 

"THE HUMAN FACE DIVINE." 

The organs of the brain have their poles in the face, and form the features. 

The poles of affection are located in the lips, the size and shape of which 
indicate the strength and kind. Thin bloodless lips denote want of affection 
and love. Pull, stiff upper lip, firmness ; large, rosy lips intense affection. 

The size and shape of the nose more than any other facial organ, indicates 
character. A large nose shows great strength and power ; flat wide nose, low, 
groveling, outlandish desires and inclinations ; sharp nose, keenness and pene- 
tration. Then we have the high Roman nose, the hooked, eagle nose, the cogi- 
tative nose, the snub nose, and the celestial nose, all of which indicate peculiar 
characteristics. Large nostrils indicate strong lungs, which impart oxygen, 
life, and activity to the system. Man should breathe through the nose and not 
through the mouth. Napoleon, in making choice of his generals, was gov- 
erned by the size and shape of the nose. 

Nature is true to herself ; she compels every individual to carry his char- 
acter at mast-head. The more man resembles the lower animals, the more like 
them in character ; some men have the mark of the beast in the forehead. 

The eye is the mirror of the soul, and reflects every passing thought. 

Fine hair and skin denote fine feelings and most exquisite sensibility : thick 
neck and heavy beard, sexual power ; a large bloated face, gross, sensual mind ; 
full, round cheeks, strong digestive organs ; flat, sunken cheeks, dyspepsia ; 
sunken temples, liver complaint. 

The voice, gesture, hand -writing, walk, carriage, etc. betray character. The 
voice of love is sweet and gentle as a dove ; there is the harsh, grating tone, the 
soul stirring music, the snarling scold, and the commanding eloquence; while 
th«= roar of the lion, the bray of the ass, the hiss of the goose, and the hoot of 
the owl, are all characteristic, and have their corresponding resemblances in 
the different voices we daily hear. 

Fine, well formed letters indicate polish and refinement, and vice versa. 

The head is thrown in the direction of the strongest faculties. The intellect- 
ual carry the head forward, the selfish and conceited, backward. 

aare, prominent chin, indicates promptness and tenacity. Small, re- 
tnat'ng chin, fickleness, and inconstancy. The poles of government are in the 
chin. 

The distance from the ear to the center of the forehead, is the measure of 
mentality. The ear is distended in the direction of the strongest faculties. 

If the eminent Lavater was not the author, he certainly was the individual 
that gave prominence to ;he science of physiognomy in Europe. 



12 WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 

Though hardly acknowledged as such in America, nevertheless physiog- 
nomy is a science having a basic formation in the human constitution ; and 
every man, though nominally denying, is, to some extent a practit'oner 
thereof, judging of earth, sea, sky, rocks, grasses, grains, as well as faces, from 
external appearance. Every imprint, furrow, angle, curve, or line upon a 
mortal's countenance symbolizes some trait or quality of soul. Accordingly 
the practised anthropologist prefers reading men from their facial angles 
rather than their brain organs. Not that I undervalue phrenology ; it is the 
twin-brother of physiognomy, and they are mutual helps in the practical solu- 
tion of the Greek inscription, " Know Thyself." 

In the perfect character, the forehead equals in surface the face. The 
more it predominates over the face, the more the intellectual, moral and 
spiritual nature predominates over the lower and physical, and vice versa. In 
all the lower animals the face greatly predominates over the forehead, and the 
forehead itself is covered with hair, indicating the blind nature of their direc- 
tive talent. The farther we go down in the scale of humanity the more the 
face and head resembles that of the lower animals. The face greatly predomi- 
nates in all the passionate, savage, and half-civilized, races. The more highly 
cultivated, the sharper and more symmetrical the features become. The 
lrgher, broader and deeper the forehead, the more it predominates over the 
face. This is the Eden of the mind — the garden of the soul — the focus of all 
intelligence. By it we determine the quantity, quality, and variety of talent 
possessed by any individual. The mind is like a garden, and requires to be 
cultivated as much as the soil. The deeper and richer the uncultivated soil, 
the more its tendency to produce weeds, thorns, briers and brambles. It is 
precisely so with the garden of the mind. The more vigorous and active, the 
stronger and finer the mind of the child, the more restless, uneasy and mis- 
chievous it will be. In many respects the mind resembles the description of 
the garden of Eden, — watered by the rivers of blood from the heart, which is 
divided into four heads. The garden of the mind thus constantly refreshed 
with the elements of growth and life from the perpetual operation of the heart 
and lungs, produces every conceivable variety of fruit which is desirable for 
food and pleasant to the eye. In the midst of the garden the tree of know- 
ledge occupies the most conspicuous place. The knowledge of good and evil 
comes of the perverted gratification of the faculties of the mind. It deranges 
and destroys the functions of the soul. The wages of sin is ever death. 

The curse ever accompanies violated law. We cannot partake of the 
knowledge of good and evil without a fall. The greatest commandment 
ever given to man is, " Be true to thyself, and let nothing stand in the way of 
the growth of thy spirit." The legitimate and harmonious gratification of 
every faculty is right. 

The uncultivated talent will ever be taken away and given to another. 
God is a great economist. The tree of life springs up in the soul, guarded by 
the two-edged sword of necessity, which turns every way to protect the paths 
of virtue and truth. Necessity is the mother of invention. Man is ever driven 
forth to cultivate the back ground of his nature. Only the Redeemer of peace 
and love can unite the conflicting faculties of the mind — the jarrino- tendencies 
of the soul. Man is creak d in the image of God, for God is love. The natural, 
selfish, and perverted man is a bundle of hate and antagonism. It is difficult 
to find any other name than that of Love for the faculties of the mind, from

the lowest physical love of the sexes, to the highest or supreme love of Cod. 
Upon love to God and man hang all the Law and the prophet*. Cultivated 
talent constitutes the wealth of the soul. This is the true, inexhaustible rielics 
of the mind, the only treasure worth living for.. The more we give of this 
wealth, the more we have left to give. Our light is never lessened by lighting 
our neighbors. The best investment ever made is in the mind. Lay up thy 
treasure within, where moth and rust doth not corrupt, nor scoundrels plun- 
der and steal. These jewels of the mind we carry beyond the tomb. Every 
faculty of the soul proves the divinity of man, and the eternity of Life. 



Evidences of Phrenology. 




Phrenology is the science of mind. It treats of the several mental 
faculties, and traces them to their respective organs — the convolutions of 
the brain. The relation existing between the mind and its material organ, 
the brain, belongs to that class of truths which though co-eval with mind itself, 
yet were left for man to discover by his own research. 

The revolution of the planets round the sun has doubtless continued since 
their existence ; yet it was left for Copernicus and others to search out and 
reveal this now simple truth. 

The laws which regulate the planetary systems have ever operated as at 
present ; yet these were unknown until Newton was raised up to trace them. 

The blood in the human frame has circulated in the same way ever since 
man was brought into existence ; yet this was a hidden mystery until Harvey, 
by his superior penetration, brought the whole to light. 

So of Phrenology. The brain has ever been the organ of the mind ; and 
upon its development, shape, and quality, the mind has always depended ; yet 
no man could understand, much less explain this, until Joseph Francis Gall, of 
Vienna, with a mind constituted, apparently, for the express purpose, became 
the instrument to discover and present the important truth. 

Man is a twofold being, composed of mind and body. The mind is the 
principal or substantial part — the part that hears, sees, tastes, smells, loves, 
hates, thinks, reasons, wills, and understands ; but it is entirely dependent on 
the body for its ability to do these things in this material world, as is evident 
from the fact, that, without the eye of the body, the mind cannot see the sun. or 
anything in the material world, neither can it hear without ears, or feel without 



14 WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 

nerves, and so on. Hence the necessity of noticing the body, in its various 
conditions, as the first step in investigating mental phenomena. By this mode 
of investigation we have established, by a great number of facts, the following 
principles : — 

I The brain is The organ of the mind. 

Where there is no brain there are no mental manifestations. Idiots possess 
very little brain compared with other men; This will be readily seen by com- 
paring the heads of Washington, Franklin, and other distinguished men with 
idiots ; also by comparing those nations who have large heads with others 
having small ones, the former will be found to rule the latter. The English 
and Hindoos are in point, where a few hundred rule as many thousands. 

It is proved also by the following facts re- 
injuries upon the head affect the mind, while the same injury upon other 
parts will leave it unimpaired ; 

The mental faculties appear and disappear at the time of the development* 
maturity, and decay of the brain ; 

Disease upon the brain produces insanity ; 

Mechanical pressure upon the brain destroys all mental power. 

II. As the mind cannot be a unit, or single faculty, but a combination of 
faculties, its instrument, the brain, must consist of as many organs as there 
are faculties. This is in accordance to the law which assigns to every member 
of the body a separate duty. As the eye and ear have separate duties, and can 
never discharge the duties of each other, so the different convolutions of the 
brain have their separate functions, and can only perform them. 

It must be borne in mind, that, although the several organs which constitute 
the brain are connected at the base, yet they act independently, and oftentimes 
in direct opposition to each other. 

For instance : Acquisitiveness prompts us to acquire and lay up property, 
while Benevolence would bid us distribute it to feed the hungry and relieve the 
suffering, Destructiveness gives energy, makes us hasty and passionate, while 
Cautiousness would make us prudent and careful. Self-Esteem tends to pride, 
while Reverence leads to humility. Thus the organs, acting in their respective 
capacities, combining in various ways, give the endless variety of character 
observable among men. 

The plurality of the faculties is also proved by dreams, where some organs 
are asleep while others are awake ; hence the incoherency of dreams. 

Again, it is proved by our ability to do several things at the same time. 

The same is proved by monomania, or partial insanity. In these cases, one 
organ, or one set of organs is diseased, while all the others are perfectly 
healthy — as in the case of the individual who imagines himself the true (rod, 
and will threaten to call out his army to destroy all who will not acknowledge 
his supremacy. Here the organ of Self- Esteem is not only very ^-ge, but is 
also dseased. 

Farther proof of the fact that different organs of the brain perform different 
offices, may be drawn from the effect which injuries upon the brain produce. 
Thus, when a part of the skull has been broken in, so as to press upon the 
brain, the organ which is pressed loses its power, and on removing the pres- 
sure the mental power returns. When the skull has been removed from the 
organ of Firmness, pressure upon this part of the brain destroys the balance of 
mind. In another case the skull was removed from the organ of Language and 



AND COMPASS OF LIFE. 1." 

Individuality, and when the finger was pressed upon the brain, the lady could 
not call by name her most intimate friends. On removing the pressure her 
memory returned. * 

III. The size of the brain and of the several organs will be a measure of 
their power when all other conditions are equal. 

This universal law of matter, that size is a measure of power, will apply to 
the brain as well as to other parts of the system. It is this^aw which enables 
the phrenologist to judge of the character of the person by the size and shape 
of the head. A large, and well developed form is admitted by all to be an in- 
dication of physical power ; so a large and healthy brain is equally an index of 
a powerful mind. And by the same principle, as a large and well-formed hand 
is more powerful than a slight and delicate one, so any mental organ will be 
strong in proportion to its size. 

Applying this law to the brain as a whole, we find that Bacon, Washington, 
Franklin, Gall. Bonaparte, Brougham, and the distinguished men of all ages, 
have possessed large heads, and not an instance can be found where a decidedly 
great man has possessed a small head. Applying it to distinct parts, we find 
that those men who have manifested extraordinarv faculties have always 
-sed the respective organs in a corresponding degree of development. 

The quest' on maybe asked, What shall be done with heads where the propen- 
sities predominate ? Others may ask, Does not phrenology tend to fatality ? or 
are we to be held responsible for the shape of our heads ? An answer to these 
questions may be found in the following statement : We have the ability to 
alter the shape of our heads. This point is now well settled. Thousands of 
instances might be cited, where long continued exercise has caused certain 
organs to grow, even after the person had arrived at the age of thirty years. 
Spurzheim mentions the case of a gentleman in England, who, to test the truth 
of this statement, had a cast of his head taken, and then directed his attention 
to some new pursuit ; and at the end of a year had another cast taken, and thus 
on, until he had five different casts, and by comparing found that the first and 
last differed so materially that one would hardly believe they ever belonged to 
the same individual. 

The skull presents no barrier to the growth of the organs of the brain, for 
the brain gives shape to the skull, and not the skull to the brain. In the infant 
the brain is first formed, and the bony deposition of the skull takes place after- 
wards, and it is not until some time after birth that the skull is perfectly 
formed. In the adult the skull, as well as the brain has its nourishing blood- 
vessels, and both receive their growth simultaneously. 

Let not individuals be discouraged because the growth of the organs is slow 
and almost imperceptible ; they cannot be altered in a day, nor in a month ; 
but years are sometimes necessary to bring about a material change. 

Upon the same principle if we suffer our mental faculties to remain dormant 
they are generally weakened, until complete degeneracy is produced through 
want of exercise. The mind of man is never at rest ; it is either rising higher 
and higher, to the highest state of mental elevation, or it is sinking lower and 
lower, to the lowest grade of the brute creation. Be not. therefore, like the 
slothful servant, who laid his talent up in a napkin, but exert it for the glory of 
God, and the benefit of the world in general. 

If, then, we may alter the shape of our heads, are we not culpable if this be 



16 



WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 



neglected ? That such an alteration can be effected, is only applying a general 
rule viz : Exercise gives power, and increases the size of any organ — the same 
law which increases the muscles of the blacksmith's arm, and which makes our 
right arm stronger and larger than our left. By this rule the organ of the brain 
which we exercise most, will grow most, and be most powerful. 

The practical uses of Phrenology and Physiognomy are — First, to 
teach us how to bring all parts of the system into harmonious and well-directed 
act on. Second, to understand the function and uses of each separate organ. 
Third, to enable us to govern and educate each faculty and each propensity, 
increasing the power of some, and properly directing others. Fourth, by 
combining these lessons, it enables us to know ourselves, and also account 
readily for each motive, thought and act on scientific principles. And, Fifth, 
it will indicate the particular calling or pursuit in which each person may be 
most useful and successful, accomplish most, rise the highest, and do the great- 
est good in the world. In short, one of its principal missions is to secure " The 
Right Man in the Right Place."

Diversitv.— There are no two persons exactly alike in character or in 
appearance. We all differ more or less in opinion on most subjects, as we do 
in size, form, complexion, quality health, strength, and length of life. One 
person has great bodily strength; one great mental activity. One is original 
and inventive, another merely imitative. One economical ; another prodigal. 
One is honest : another dishonest One loves home ; another loves to travel. 
One studies the sciences ; another prefers art. One is musical, poetical, and 
fond ot oratory ; another disregards them. One is bold, courageous, manly, 
and self-relying ; another timid, irresolute, brshful, diffident and sensitive. 
Phrenology explains these differences, and poiuts out the means by which 
to develop harmoniously all the organs of the mind. We can improve. 

Phrenology reveals character from the shape of the brain, be it broad or 
narrow, high or low, short or long, and enables ur to determine the location, 
relative size and strength of the different organs. From it we may learn 
how to develop, direct, and restrain all the mental powers on scientific prin- 
ciples.

MAN IS MIND. The body is simply the instrument through which the 
mind manifests itself while on earth. Mind is the primal power of the human 
system, and is manifested through seventy or more organs. Each is primary and 
independent in its functions, doing its own work, and not doing the work of 
any other. Each of these mental powers resides in and is manifested by or 
through a particular portion of the brain. So eaGh organ of the body per- 
forms its own function only. The eye sees, the ear hears, the heart circulates 
the blood, the lungs breathe, the stomach digests ; and so the organs of the 
brain, like so many telegraph wires, each perform their separate functions, and 
all report to " headquarters ;" and as New York is the headquarters of the tel- 
egraphic system, so the brain is the headquarters of the nervous system, and 
each line has its office in it. The power of each organ, all thkigs being equal 
is in exact proportion to the size and quality of the brain or nerve which mani- 
fests it. 

The mental powers are possessed in different degrees by different individu- 
als, and also by the same individual. One possesses ten talents, another fire. 



18 WICKES* PHRENO-CHART 

another one. Each mental power grows stronger and becomes more skillful by 
proper exercise. Our accountability is just in proportion as we make a good 
or a bad use of these talents. Each mental power was created for the purpose 
of doing good, and intended to be used. 

Man, being placed in the subjective, objective, and attractive world, is con- 
stantly surrounded by and exposed to an infinite variety of influences. " The 
Mind is Man." The brain is the complex instrument by which he can express 
from within his desires, inclinations and anticipations. The face is the sensa- 
tional mirror in which we can discover the influence of the organs of the brain 
and the impression made upon the mind by its perceptions, retentions and ex- 
pressions. In fact the face is the true window of the Soul : through its trans- 
parent texture we can clearly discern the combined influence of heat, light and 
sound on the brain. Therefore it is the organs of the brain and the faculties of 
the mind as their expression appears in the face, that we are about to consider 
and describe. 

As the description of individual disposition cannot be correctly given with- 
out the face is included, and its relations to the brain, so the quality and ac- 
tivity of the brain cannot be correctly estimated save by the features and ex- 
pressions of the face. 

The operations of the brain are frequently interrupted by, and under the in- 
fluence of the body and physical organs. 

Matter is the general name given to the substance of which the body is com- 



As there is not an exact amount of matter in any two bodies, nor an equality 
of size, nor similarity of form or configuration, so there exists a difference in 
quality or texture, and character. No two are alike in any respect ; all men 
look from different stand points, and through different colored glasses; are con- 
trolled by a different combination of circumstances ; act from different motives ; 
cannot agree, or see things in the same light. 



ESTIMATES OF CHARACTER. 

The judgment of the world in reference to human character is often, per- 
haps we may say generally — unjust. People take one-sided views of their 
fellow men and of themselves. Attention happens to be directed to certain 
points, and the man is judged by them, while other qualities just as essential — 
perhaps more so — are left out of the account altogether. 

Phrenology teaches us to avoid this error. It teaches us not to judge a man 
by isolated acts, or isolated traits of character, but by his organization. In 
that we find, clearly and fully written down, his whole physical, mental, and 
spiritual character. We can strike a balance between the' good and the bad, 
and assign to him his true place in the scale of humanity. We see him as he is, 
not one side of him, but all sides. 

The Utility of Self-knowledge.—" The right man in the right place" 
would enable society to move on in harmony ; and it is possible, by the aid of 
science, to place each man just where he belongs— where lie would succeed 
best, rise the highest, accomplish the most, and do the most good in the world, 
and secure the most perfect happiness ; also, to govern and educate children, 
and fit each for the place or sphere to which he is, by nature best adapted. In 
Bhort, it will inform us what we can do best.

HKRKDITARY INFLUENT H S 

Everv person's character depends upon tliree distinct elements :-* 

1st. Hereditary organization, and health of body and brain. 

2d. Associations in early life, and the habits, employment, example, im- 
pressions and instructions received. 

3d. Our own determinations, when we are old enough, and at liberty to 
act for ourselves. 

The principles, both moral and religious, the habits of both body and mind 
which we then adopt, we are responsible for, and it is of the greatest import- 
ance that we make no radical mistakes. To prevent such mistakes we need 
knowledge, and, first of all, a knowledge of our hereditary organization, that we 
may understand what tendencies of nature are in us originally excessive, and 
what are originally defective. Thus we shall be enabled to judge whether our 
original character has received the right kind of cultivation, and whether, du- 
ring our past lives, we have been subjected to proper influences or not ; and 
also, what is of more importance than anything else, how we shall be best 
enabled to form good resolutions, and mark out a more correct course for our 
future conduct, — so as to improve our characters and intellects, and thus 
attain a higher degree of happiness ourselves, while, at the same time we shall 
exert a happier influence upon the characters of others. Before proceeding 
to examine the head, the examiner should notice the proportions of the body, 
the appearance of the face, to ascertain the degree of energy, activity, delicacy 
or strength with which the faculties of the brain can be habitually manifested. 
For it should be understood that, although the form and size of the head may 
indicate the different traits of character, it does not indicate the energy or 
activity of the general character. No person who has small lungs, whatever 
may be the size or form of the head, will manifest great energy of character.

SIGNS OF CHARACTER, AND HOW TO READ IT ON SCIENTIFIC 
PRINCIPLES. 

The Brain is the fountain of all thought and sen^ 
sation, a most perfectly organized compound gal- 
vanic battery ; the grand machinery of the mind, 
which is not a unit, but composed of a multitude of 
faculties, wnich create infinite variety of character, 
talent, and disposition, according to the s'ze, quaUty 
and quantity of the convolutions of the brain, which 
can always be determined by the configuration of the 
head, the shape and size of which invariably indicates 
the character of the individual. 

Everything in the Universe is compelled by the God of Nature to bear its 
character at mast-head. 

The brain being a magnetic battery is constantly generating animal and 
spiritual magnetism, and sending it down like a quickening spirit, through 
all the ramifications of the nervous system, which seems to be an extension 
of the brain, throughout the entire physical organism. One class of nerves

WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 




extends to, and permeates the muscular system, and gives the sense of mo- 
tion, thus elevating the animal above the vegetable world. Without a vig- 
orous brain the individual is incapable of rapid and continual motion. The 
greater the quantity of electricity generated in the brain, properly conducted 
to the muscles, the more powerful, energetic, and effectual the motions. 

The Face is the Mirror of the mind. Every aspiration, desire or thought 
is reflected through the features. 

The Nose is of unspeakable weight in the scale of Physi- 
ognomy ; it is the index to the character of every individu- 
al, standing, as it does, the most prominent and conspicuous 
feature of the face, and least liable to change its expression 
of any of the facial organs. A large nose invariably indi- 
cates a strong character of some kind. A very small nose 
evinces a weak, contracted mind, a dull sluggish and stupid 
brain. 

The larger and Btronger the lungs, the more clear and vigorous the mind in 
all its manifestations. Light and air are the great purifiers of the blood. 

The sense of smell, the sentinel of the lungs, is located in the nostrils ; it is 
dangerous and unhealthy to breathe through the mouth. This is the most fruit- 
ful source of lung diseases ; the lungs become chilled by the cold unfiltered air, 
which is not properly permeated with the magnetism of the brain. 

The large cogitative nose, as seen in the accompany- 
ing cut, and in the head of Franklin, preceding, indi- 
cates a vigorous and powerful mind, and generally a 
universal genius. The hooked, eagle nose indicates an 
over-reaching, keen-sighted, proud spirit, an eagle 
nature, a merciless disposition to pounce upon and 
devour its prey, which it sights from afar. Those 
possessing prominent noses of this peculiar type will 
generally be found less scrupulous in business matters 
and less reflective than those of the form designated as the cogtative. They 
will more readily accumulate wealth and political power. The Jewish nose has 
a tendency in this direction, and may serve as an illustration 
of the characteristics indicated. 

A long, drooping nose evidences a despondent, gloomy 
and dejected spirit, an inclination to pry into the affairs 
of others. A short, snubbed nose, blunt uncultivated nature. All the infinite 
variety of noses have their peculiar characteristics. 

A sharp, protruding septum, indicates scholastic ability, 
sagacity and keenness, and a disposition to accumulate 
knowledge. High Roman nose, disposition to attack, con- 
quer and subdue ; and vice versa, the Grecian nose indicates 
artistic skill, polish and refinement. 

The more the nose resembles that of any animal or 

thing, the more like will the individual prove to be in char- 

acter. The finer and sharper the features the more active 

and penetrating the mind. 

A s&arp, turned-up nose, a dissatisfied, fretful, chafing, uneasy, discontent-

cd spirit, — disposed to find fault and scold, turnup the nose and sneer at 
every tiling, quick to detect defects in others. 

\ /. No one should presume to determine character 

will/Ml^ without first looking into the eye. The quality of the 
|||f soul can be instantly detected, as every emotion of the 
mind affects the expression of the eye. Every thought 
that gleams from the spirit makes its impress upon this 
' wonderful sense of light. The more the eye resembles 
the eye of the snake, dove, eagle, hawk, or owl, the 
more like in character. The eye of the lamb differs 
widely from that of the lion, panther, or hyena. The 
book of nature is open on every hand. We have but to open our eyes to read 
the infinite arcana of wisdom. 

Blue, grey and black eyes indicate very different dispositions. 
Blue eyes indicate a gentle, sweet, and amiable spirit; one easily mould- 
ed, and affected by surroundings ; impressive, initiative, and inspirational. 

The cold grey eye of destiny reminds one of the granite hills, — stern, in- 
flexible, and unapproachable. 

Dark eyes, express deep, absorbing penetration, often accompanying the 
most heartless natures, and cold blooded villany. But there are frequent excep- 
tions to these general rules. 

Blue eyes are more easily psychologised and brought under the influence 
of others; more impulsire and easily affected by love and emotion. They 
remind one in their various moods and expressions, now serene, then clouded, 
of the blue expanse of the heavens. 

The eye of the scoundrel is vacillating and unsettled, betraying an uneasy, 
vigilant watchfulness, or fear of detection ; never permitting a searching 
look into the eyes. They evince an instinctive consciousness that their most 
secret thoughts can be detected, while an honest man, who is the noblest 
work of G-od, will ever look you square in the face. 

Thick, ponderous lips, denote gross, coarse and powerful passion. Full 
rosy lips, intense affection. Handsome, well formed, and 
neatly-mated lips, a symmetrical, harmonious, pure, chaste 
amiable and affectionate nature. The depth of the grooves 
in the red portion of the lips, indicates the steadfastness 
tenacity and chastity of the love. Smooth, full, red lips 
denote ardent, earnest, and inconstant affection. Unclean 
and loosely hung lips, a gross, careless and loose affec- 
tional nature. The most perfect love will ever be expressed 
by the magic kiss. This is the purest emblem, or natural 
language of love, by which its quality and nature can be told ; this is the di- 
rect and natural channel of love's sweetest magnetism. No one should marry 
without first testing the quality of love through the poles of the lips. 

It is surprising, even to the accustomed student of this interesting science, 
to observe the number and variety of the most subtile and exquisite emotions 
of the soul which are conveyed, as with a distinct and spiritual language, 
through the delicate lines, shape, and hue of this most beautiful and expressive 
of the features. Its frankness betrays what the eye seeks to conceal, revealing 
unconsciously the very depths of the heart. 





22 WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 

A full, stiff upper lip denotes firmness and tenaciiy of 
purpose. The more it predominates'* over the lower, the 
more ungovernable and unyielding the nature, and inclined 
to govern, control, and subdue others. The more pointed 
and focalized the upper lip, the more concentrated and de- 
termined the character. " Keep a stiff upper lip" is an old 
saying, and no one can do much without it. The effort to 
stiffen and concentrate the muscles of the upper lip, sti- 
mulates into activity the organs of government ; so the exercise of any of the 
facial organs stimulates the corresponding faculty of the brain. Thus can the 
locality of the poles of the organs of the mind be determined. A turned up, 
vibiati.ig uppt r lip indicates a fickle, unstable character. 

Thus Physigonomy, when based on Physiology and Phrenology, may be re- 
duced to a perfect system as an index of character and disposition. There are 
certain nerves connected with the features, which when acted upon produce 
certain changes in the expression ; as from joy to sorrow, love to hate ; from 
kindness to revenge ; or from hope to fear, penitence, devotion, etc. The ex- 
pression will be clear, distinct and comprehensive, or it will be dull, vacant, or 
imbecile. If you are joyous and happy, the mouth will turn up at the corners 
thus, -^> ; but if downcast, desponding and miserable, will incline at the corners 
thus, s— ^. Are you good-natured ? or are you sad, gloomy, dejected? The 
corners of your mouth alone will tell the story. The nose, chin, eyes, ears 
lips, and all the other features indicate character. 

The mind is a germ of Divinity, capable of unlimited development and ex- 
pansion. At first a blank — the most ignorant and helpless of all things — yet 
capable of rising, higher than anything else in the universe. It may be com- 
pared to a plant, which under favorable circumstances sends out innumerable 
successive roots and fibers, buds, leaves and branches. So, conditions and 
necessity create new faculties and combinations of organs in the brain and face* 
which change and modify the character of the countenance. 

There appears to be no end to the growth, unfolding, and upbuilding of the 
tree of life* or living temple of the spirit — the house not made with hands. 

Man is yet in infancy ; like the germ beneath the soil, budding into new and 
higher life continually — absorbing, and living on finer and more celestial ali- 
ments. Onward and upward is the destiny of man. I see this prophecy in 
every innate desire and aspiration of the soul. I behold the golden future (like 
apples of gold in pictures of silver) radiant and luminous with love, and truth, 
peace and plenty, harmony, happiness and eternal life. 

The key of mind will unlock the mystery of Man and all the arcana of wis- 
dom and knowledge. 

Like the plant just looking through the soil, we behold the dawn of endless 
day^ and hasten to embrace the sun of truth, and kiss the beams of light and 
love, as they break in upon the uew-born faculties of the soul. The higher we 
grow up into the Divine Man, the more perfect we become. 

The more perfect we become, the more unitized and 
illuminated the spirit, until we reflect the perfect image of 
God, our Father, and Christ, the Redeemer, and become 
joint heirs w'th him who possesses all things. The higher we rise, the deeper 
we must sink our roots, and extend the fibers of the soul into the solid ground- 
work of Nature's eternal principles. The tree of life must be rooted and

grounded in the essence of divinity — the infinite, eternal, and unchangeable 
Father. True greatness and goodness consist in a perfect and harmonious de- 
velopment of every part of our nature — in a proper blending of soul and body 
— temperament and senses— spirit and matter. Let nothing prevent the devel- 
opment of mind, the growth of soul. Fear not to supply the demands of 
Nature ; self-preservation is the first known law. Every faculty was made to 
be used, the God within will teach thee all things. Study thyself : trust no 
man nor book ; worship God, the eternal essence of mind and spirit within. 



COMPARATIVE PHYSIOGNOMY. 






The most direct, safest and best way to study any science is by illustrations 
symbols and comparisons. Nature is full of diversity, and endless varieties of 
types, symbols, and shadings of character, as illustrated in the different races, 
species of animals, and varieties.of plants ; yet she is so simple, truthful, and 
exact in all her silent teachings, that one need not err, and he that runs may 
read what the spirit of truth reveals unto all. God's Oracles are written in 
and on, within and without every atom and organization in and under heaven. 
They speak but one language, that of truth. There is no confusion in Nature, 
Behold the different races of men, and the various 
species of birds and animals. Contrast the seven 
leading features of the face, the eyes, ears, nose, 
mouth, cheeks, chin and forehead, with those of the 
elephant, hawk, (p. 20) cow, ox, horse, eagle, sheep, 
and goat, as seen in the annexed cuts. The more any of these seven features, 
resemble those of any animal, the more like the character. Contrast the Indian 
with those of the white race. We thus learn to 
discriminate between different tendencies of the 
mind, as all races of men and species of animals 
have strong predilections and leading traits of 
character, which stand out most conspicuous, — 
shape and mould the countenance. Every thought, word, and deed is 
brought into judgment and recorded in the book of life, which by the light 
of se'euce can be read of all men, — " There is nothing secret that shall not 
be revealed, nothing hid that will not be brought to light." Luke 2 ; 3. 

Every thought we think is shaping our destiny and weaving the web we 
must weir through eternity. It is hard to change the deformed monstrosity, 
or develop the dwarfed idiot. Unchangeable laws control mind ana matter. 
Trifle not with thy talents ; improve the precious moments, the innumera- 
ble opportunities of life. Eternity is long, but time is precious, as it weighs so 
heavily on the future destiny of man. A deed done cannot be undone ; an op- 
portunity missed, a moment lost, cannot be recalled. Every revelation of 
nature and manifestation of mind proves the eternity of life and death, as to 
individualities, although every particle of matter in the Universe is immortal, 





24 WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 

and has evidently existed from eternity self-existent. Nevertheless the forms 
of all organized bodies change continually, and will so change eternally, never 
remaining the same. Stagnation is death and disorganization ; action alone is 
life. 

Attraction and repulsion produce all action ; heat all expansion ; love all 
life, hatred and antagonism, death. Heat is positive ; cold is negative. Heat 
is life ; cold is death. 

We must live consistent with self or perish. The talent unimproved is lost 

As the growth of weeds, noxious plants and animals, must give place to a 
higher and still higher order, and as they enrich the soil by absorbing the ele- 
ments of life from the light and air, and prepai e it for a higher and better ge- 
nus of plants and fruits, so does Man's existence, life, and death prepare the 
way for a finer, more spiritual, and more celestial life in the race. Many germs 
perish, many blossoms are blasted, much seed wasted — broad the road to de- 
struction, but strait and narrow the way to eternal life. 

One way alone conducts us aright ; ten thousand lead astray. All matter 
being eternal there is nothing lost,— extremes always meet — everything runs in 
a circle. Death is life ; God is economical. There are fixed laws working the 
redemption of every atom. Hell is the iurnace where God purifies the spirit. 
The woes and agonies of life work salvation or disorganization. In the endless 
future of our world, the working of these internal laws, will either redeem or 
utterly destroy every lost soul and wandering spirit. The wicked shall perish 
out of the earth , none but the good and true have the gift of eternal life dwell- 
ing in them. The very nature of sin is death. This diseased, fallen, and de- 
generate race will be saved by the help of the care of God, through Christ the 
sun and center of all things. 



SOUL AND BODY. 

The Soul or Spirit, the unseen, unsearchable essence of Mind, constitutes 
the Divine Man ; permeating the body, which may be compared to a stringed 
instrument, having the capacity or elements of harmony. 

The nerves, the eye, and the senses and faculties generally, are the chords 
and artificial framework which God has woven round the quickened spirit, 
which has the power of life and action within itself. The soul and body are 
Lif e _a harp of a thousand strings, fitted, when in harmony with itself— for God 
and the angels to play upon. 

In the present life, the soul requires a body, a nervous system, a brain, — 
through which to act on the world of matter. Spirit communicates with 
spirit, and mind with mind even at great distances. 

The intellectual, moral and spiritual powers, are the crowning elements of 
man's nature ; the other powers and propensities, which are also possessed 
by the animals, are subsidiary, and to be subservient to them. 

The natural powers being favorable, a proper use of all the mental organs 
insures right development and happiness in this world. 

The functions of these several organs are governed by fixed laws. Phre. 
nologv is the science that explains these laws, and consequently enables us 
to guide the mental powers in accordance therewith. No part of the body 
can be affected without a corresponding effect on every other part. 








BRAIN EXPOSED. 



WITHOUT WHICH THE SOUL WOULD BE INEXPRESSIBLE. 

Seven Senses, viz: Sensation, Sight, Hearing, Intuition, Taste, Smell, 
Motion. 

Temperaments, There are sev 
en temperaments, seven senses, sev- 
en grand divisions of the brain, and 
seven colors in light. Seven notes 
in Music, etc. It requires seven to 
make a perfect whole- ^Ye have 
seven days. There are seven spirits 
of God around the throne of Mind, 
■ Frequent allusions to this mystic 
gall. number are found in the Bible. 

1st. Sensation, or Sensorium, from which the senses derive their names. 
A central group of organs in the ** medulla oblongata" — the focus of the 
mind, and center of the nervous system, It is the fountain of the nervous 
organism, which creates the sense of feeling. The innumerable ramified 
nerves that permeate the body, are but an extension of the brain organs — the 
conductors or channels of the mind. Like the fibers and roots of a plant, 
they supply the brain with negative animal magnetism, generated in the 
compound organized batteries of the body, and conduct the spiritual and 
mental magnetism from the brain to the extremities of the physical man. 

Thus woven together, the many members and faculties of our nature form 
one body. 

Sensation is the sentinel of life ; the quickened spiritual perception of all 
facts and phenomena; the root of all the senses ; the primary central sense — 
like the sun in the center of the solar system — in connection with motion. 

2d. Sense of motion. Webster says, the pri- 
mary idea of language is motion — to move. He 
would consider this the central Word. We build on 
this basis that motion and sensation are the central 
sense — the first effect of positive and negative forces- Attraction, repulsion, 
and motion are the triune key of the Universe. 

The nerves of motion and sensation are intimately wedded together; those 
of motion quickening the muscles into action, as those of sensation quicken 
the body into feeling. The nerves of motion rise and center in the phreno-or- 
gans of Equi-Motiveness, as the nerves of sensation emanate from the organ 
of Consciousness, located in the little back-brain called the cerebellum, and 
which produces the infinite variety of involuntary motions of the voluntary 
muscles. If the right lobe of this organ be cut, the individual revolves to the 
left, and vice versa. 

These senses are the first step in the scale of gradual development that ele- 
vates animal above vegetable life. The chief corner stone of the great temple 
of mind, they should be wisely trained and properly cultured. The larger the 





26 WICKES' PHKENO-CHART 

more vigorous the cerebellum, the stronger, more energetic and effectual the 
motions, and the keener, inore acute and clear the sensations. All the elements 
of motion and sensation are generated in the lower brain. Here all the nerves 
of the brain focalize, concentrate, and extend down through the spinal column 
to every part of the system. The brain organs being positive, medical electri- 
city, must be applied naturally, in the order of nature. The object should be 
to create and establish the to and fro current as natural as possible, in order to 
remove obstructions, and ueal the sick and disordered nerves, and the relaxed 
and wasted muscles. These senses should be instinctive monitors in the mat- 
ter. But this subject is treated upon in detail by the author, in his work on 
Medical Electricity. 

3d. Sense of Taste. This guards the stomach, and is 
located in the mouth and palate, consisting of the numerous 
flattened nerves covering the tongue, etc., which enable us to 
judge of the quality of food. It is not, however, an infallible 
guide. Unsavor} r articles may be wholesome, while substan- 
ces which please the palate may act as poisons. Taste should be trained and 
cultivated ; as this organ is the first developed, so it seems to lose its activity 
the last. 

We should masticate our food thoroughly, and mingle the saliva properly 
with it, before swallowing. 

Alimentiveness takes cognizance of tastes or flavors, and probably of odors 
also. It is not improbable, however, that the compartment generally assigned 
to alimentiveness really contains a group of organs, one of which may have the 
appreciation of odors-for its special function ; but this has not been fully deter- 
mined upon. Anatomically, we find that the nerve of smell communicates di- 
rectly with the perceptive faculties, as well as with those which lie posteriorly 
in the base of the brain. 

4th. Sense of smell. The sentinel of the lungs, located 
^ in the nose, takes cognizance of odors, the emanations of all 
substances. 
By means of smell, the external world acts upon man and 
animals from a distance. 

We should sleep with our mouths shut, and breathe through the nose. The 
sense of smell should be cultivated. The fine, sensitive nerves, covering the 
inner coat of the nose, should be exercised, or they weaken and perish, hke the 
muscles of the body, or the organs of the brain, for the talent that is not im- 
proved will be taken away. There is infinite improvement to be made, and 
pleasure to be enjoyed by the proper cultivation of all the faculties of the mind. 
5th. Sense of Hearing. Caused by the vibratory ac- 
tion of the waves of air upon the drum of the ear. It is 
located in the center of the side head, producing the sen- 
sation of sound upon the brain. The ear is peculiarly con- 
structed to catch and concentrate sound, which stimulates 
all the faculties, especially the impulcive organs situated 
around the ears. The dog growls and barks before he bites , 
man talks loudly, when angered, before he fights. The 
lion roars before pouncing upon h's prey. The thundering cannon impels to 
deadly conflict

Music, the poetry and harmony of sound, when her seven keys and notes are 
properly blended, produces the most enchanting and elevating influence, be- 
cause it soothes, calms, and harmonizes every organ of the mind and faculty of 
the soul. 

6th. Sense of Sight. " If thine eye be single, thy 
whole body is full of light." Jesus. 

God said M Let there be light, and there was light." 
Light, the finest, most spiritualized and luminous 
material substance — is the key of Life, and the link be- 
tween mind and matter. 

The eye is the organ of sight, connected with the per- 
ceptive group of organs by seven pairs of nerves. The optic, or central nerve 
telegraphs all impressions made upon the retina, which is the most sensitive 
and delicate organ we possess, and needs more care, cultivation, and protection 
than any other; hence i's location in the cavity of the skull, surrounded by 
powerful bones and muscles, protected by eyebrows, lids and lashes, lubricated 
by wonderful secretions, which keep the eye in working order. 

Tth. Intuition. The all-absorbing, soul-quick- 
ening sense. The mysterious and incomprehensible 
operations of natural and spiritual life can be only 
understood through this sense. It embraces all the 
interior organs of the mind, which are but different 
faculties of this grand illuminating sense. It corres- 
ponds to the instinct of animals, and the inspiration of 
angels; enabling man to come into rapport with the 
immaterial and spiritual, and to communicate with 
galileo. the Infinite Intelligence. When predominating, in 

harmony with the temperaments, and other senses, it leads man, by the infal- 
lible "inner light" "that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.'' 

When strong it produces a clear, illuminated countenance ; sharp, pene- 
trating eyes; thin skull; compact and predominating brain ; enabling its pos- 
sessor to gain intuitive knowledge without the study of bo>ks. When defi- 
cient, the individual is stupid, dull, and thoughtless. Can never succeed as a 
scholar, nor accomplish much in life, unless by continual, persistent cultivation 
of the internal sense of thinking, which is, like all the faculties, capable of 
growth. 

Those possessing this intuitive power in a large degree, will be able to re- 
ceive and appreciate knowledge beyond the perception of the age in which 
they live. They are often in advance of their times. " The world moves, ,J 
said Galileo, eloquent and fearless under the clear perceptio 1 of truth insp* ed 
by the rction of this almost divine faculty. It is through the recognition of 
truths as revealed through this sense, that men have endured persecution and 
martyrdom with unshrinking fortitude. 




CULTIVATION OF THE SENSES. 



Exercise renders the sense of touch more delicate, the sense of tnsts 
more refined, the sense of smell more acute, the sense of hearing more ex qui- 



28 WICKES' PHRE NO -CHART 

site, the sense of sight more perfect, the sense of thinking more inspirational, 
the muscular senses more effectual. 

Over exercise enfeebles the organs of sensation. There is much danger of 
over exercising the sight. 

Inhaling intensely active odors, such as smelling salts, etc., have in some 
cases much injured the sense of smell, while strong spices, liquors, etc., act in- 
juriously upon the sense of taste. The remedy for over-exercise is entire rest. 

The principles herein developed it is hoped will induce the reader to culti- 
vate to the full his powers of rationally enjoying this world, and he will under- 
stand the feeling of Campbell, the poet, when he exclaimed in a letter to a 
friend : 

•' What adorable beauties of God, and bounties of Nature, we live in with- 
out knowing." 

Reader, as you value happiness here, and as you hope for happiness hereaf- 
ter we beseech you, above all things, study yourself. 

All weil-organized human beings have the same number of fingers, toes^ 
eyes, ears, nerves, and organs of body and brain. They differ not in function, 
but only in their degree of development. If one be destitute of natural 
affection, reason, music, calculation, devotion, etc., he is simply unfortunate, 
perhaps idiotic in some one or more organs ; and it is the province of the 
phrenologist to determine the relative size and strength of each an 1 all of the 
crgans of body and mind, and to state who is, and who is not well organized 
and also to show how each and every one may improve and make the most 
of his talents, and what he can do best. 

Man is not fated to be good or bad ; but is so organized that he may be 
either , that is, he may live a virtuous, or a vicions life — it is optional with him. 
He may rise or fall, be temperate or intemperate, true or false. He may 
make much or little of himself, and Phrenology explains how. 

Thus, by taking into account the whole man, body and brain — by looking at 
him from all stand-points, by a careful analysis of his Physiology, Phrenology 
aud Physiognomy, we may obtain knowledge of all the different nerves of the 
body, their locations, functions, and uses, and this will reveal to us all the signs 
of character, and how to read them. 

The Temperaments indicate the different qualities and conditions. A know- 
ledge ot Physiology enables us to determine the temperaments, and their rela- 
tive effects on character ; and also the health and strength of the organization, 
whether good or bad, weak or strong, coarse or fine. Let it be remembered 
tuai the quality of the body and brain has as much to do with determining 
their strength and power as the quantify. Are you fine or coarse ? 

Yeliei no one misunderstand or misapply the use of these terms, which are 
only relative in their significance. A poetic and artistic temperament may be 
a desirable gift, yet in the great scale oi humanity its value will not perhaps be 
fouDd g i eater, or more adapted to the true ends of existence than one of an op- 
posite quality. Each in its place fulfils its purpose ; nor should we accord to 
one a questionable elevation over the other. All are necessary to the harmo- 
ny of the great whole ; only so is it perfected. It is only the nearness of con- 
tact which renders one temperament apparently desirable — another distasteful. 
Each. to his work. After ages will not distinguish with scrutinising carefulness 
the designer from the builder of the pyramids. 






KEY TO THE PHRENO-C H ART. 

1. FinuRE 1 signifies very small and deficient 

2. Small and weak ; influenced by other organs. 

3. Moderate; exerting some influence. 

4. Average; exert'ng a fair influence ; controlled by circumstances. 

5. Above average ; with fair opportunities habitually manifested. 

6. Large ; constitutes a marked and predominant trait. 

7. Very large ; overruling the other organs ; amounting to deformity. 
The sign -|- will be affixed whenever the orgau is somewhat larger than the 

number indicates ; and the sign — when somewhat less. 

To know what organs require to be cultivated, an 1 what to be restrained, is 
most important. This will be indicated by curving the dash upward whenever 
the faculty is too small, and requires cultivation, and downward whenever it 
requires regulation, restraint, or right direction,

THE HUMAN BRAIN. 
The human brain is an oval mass filling and fitting the interior of the skull, 
and consisting of two substances, a gray, ash-colored, or cineritious portion, 
and a white, fibrous, or medullary portion. It is divided 
both in form and function into two principal masses, 
— the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The cerebrum is 
divided longitudinally into two equal hemispheres, and 
each of these in its under surface into three lobes. But 
the most remarkable feature in the structure of the cere- 
bral globe is its numerous and complicated convolutions, 
the furrows between which dip deeply down into the 
brain. By means of these foldings the surface of the 
brain exposed. brain is greatly increased, and power gained with the 
greatest economy of space ; for it is a demonstrated fact that in proportion to 
the number and depth of these convolutions is the mental force. "The mind's 
revolvings are here represented in moving spirals, and the subtile insinua- 
tion of thought, whose path is through all things, issues with power from the 
form of cerebral screws. They print their shape and make themselves room 
on the inside of the skull, and are the most irresistible things in the human 
world." 

The cerebellum lies behind and immediately underneath the cerebrum, and 
is about one eighth the size of the latter organ. It is divided into lobes and lo- 
bules, and consists of a gray and a white substance, like the cerebrum, but dif- 
ferently disposed, the white portion being internal in the cerebrum, and exter- 
nal in the cerebellum in which, also, both substances are disposed in thin plates 
instead of convolutions. 

Extending from the base of the brain to the atlas or bony pivot on Which 
the head rests, is the medulla oblongata. It is conical in shape, and may be 
c -nsidered the head or beginning of the spinal cord, which continues it, and, in 
fact, extends the brain down the vertical canal, and by means of the nerves 
wh : ch it gives off and which pass through notches between the vertebrae, con- 
nects it with every part of the body. There are generally reckoned eleven 
pairs of nerves arising from the brain, and thirty-one from the spinal marrow. 
It is thus seen that the whole nervous apparatus is included in the mental sys- 
tem, and that the brain, as the organ of the overruling mind should be, as it 
unquestionably is, is omnipresent in the human body.

" Man's greatest knowledge is himself to know." 



Man is a Microcosm ; an epitome of the Universe ; a Germ of Deity. The 
Brain is the seat of the soul. It consists of a plurality of faculties, constructed 
upon the principle of the compound galvanic battery. 

SIZE OP THE BRAIN ( Inches.) 

Size of head. Other conditions being equal, the size of the brain and of 
each organ is the measure of .its mental power. 

1. YERY SMALL Is incapable of mental effort, or of experiencing much 
pain or pleasure. 

2. Small. Your mind is, at best, but weak and inferior. May be intuitive, 
and manifest some sharp traits of character, but lacks common sense. 

A head marked 1, or 2, will be idiotic, and its owner cannot take care of 
himself. 

3. MODERATE. You have a contracted mind ; are smart in little matters ; 
easily controlled by others.

You will accomplish more than some who have a much Larger head than you. 
With proper culture you will atta n ami achieve much. 

2. Average. Under favorable circumstances may do well in your sphere 
but will be incapable of great undertakings. 

5. FULL. Yours is a mnd of fair power, if properly cultivated. With

6. LARGE. Yours is a mind of fine and large power. You can wield an 
extensive influence ; can make yourself felt, among your friends at least, if not 
by the world at large ; can accomplish much. 

2. Large. You have a strong mind ; with care and culture can rise to 
eminence, if not pre-eminence. 

3. Large. You have a fine brain, a fine mind, but not physical energy, sta-

sanity — against which you would do well to guard. 

4. Large. Yours is a large brain ; a strong, but not brilliant mind. 

5. Large. Yours is a strong character, but an eccentric and peculiar one.

EDUCATION", TEXTURE AND TEMPERAMENTS GOVERN. 

Cultivation. The mind is like a garden. Temperaments correspond to 
the soil. The faculties increase with exercise ; they decrease with inaction. 
" No excellence without labor."

Should learn to be more slow, quiet, steady and deliberate — to save energy. 

3. Large. You are very spry, light, swift, agile in movement ; alert. 

4. Large. Yours is a supple, flexible frame. You would, with practice, 
succeed well, by your strength, in leaping, wrestling, springing, dancing.

tiently. What's the hurry ? Eternity is long. Stop and think. Patience. 

VERY LARGE. You are very active and rapid in all your movements, 
lively, spry, quick and restless. 

Propelling Power. 

AVERAGE. You have ordinary energy and force of character ; none too 
much for great enterprises. Should cultivate more activity and propelling 
power. 

FULL. You have the ability to drive your affairs ; take hold of business 
with considerable energy and force when roused.

strength and harmony of mind. 

Vitality. The brain exhausts, and the body manufactures vitality ; the 
supply should equal the demand.

3. Average. Yours is not a healthy constitution ; yet you will endure, and 
last, and hang on to life, while others, more healthy, will pass away. 

FULL, You inherited a tolerably good constitution, but not the best. 
2. Full Yours was, and even is a fair constitution, but not the best. 

LARGE. Have a strong constitution, naturally ; can endure a great deal 
of physical or mental labor. Sometimes a good constitution is impaired by

Mental Temperament- 

MENTAL TEMPERAMENT. Depends on the brain and nervous system, 
and is accompanied by mental activity, smallness and 
fineness of muscle, light frame, thin skin, fine hair, 
delicate frame, and a large brain as compared with 
the body. 

This temperament, on account of its compactness 
of muscle and the activity invariably accompanying 
its predominance, does not lack strength and vigor- 
as might, perhaps, be supposed. Under the excite- 
ment of passion, emotion, or the direction of a power, 
mental. f u i w ^i ? i m p U i s ing through the whole being, it is

36 WICKES' PHRENO-CHART 

SANGUINE, or Arterial Temperament, indicating a love of exercise 
or work in the open air, instead of being sedentary. 



THE BALANCED or Mixed Temi e lament, with all the good and evil 
tendencies of our common humanity, is indicated by 
a well-proportioned body and head, with no part par- 
ticularly large or small. Washington, the *' father of 
his country," calm, cool, dispassionate, furnishes a 
fine illustration of this temperament. 

Harmony. A perfect balance of brain and tempera- 
ments is most favorable to health and longevity. 

Modification. The temperaments may be modi- 
washingtoiN, ** ed ' an( * even ra( iically changed, by diet, exereise,

VERY LARGE. Yours is a passional soul, full of love and hate ; very 
strongly tinged witk the scarlet of life. 

EMOTIONAL Temperament. Indicated by the intensity warmth and fer- 
vor of the feelings. As objects seen through a colored glass partake of its hues 
conveying more vivid impressions through the eye to the brain, bo ail the expe- 
riences of life, whether painful or pleasant, are hightened, intensified, rendered 
more effective for the time, by the predominance of this temperament. 

MODERATE. You are rather cold in the feelings ; not vivid or impulsive

pass away; you are inclined to be fickle, and fond of variety and change- 

3. Large. You are very flush, warm and ardent; very sanguine. Have 
high animal spirits ; are welling over with fulness of animal life, 

4. Large You are an enthusiast, — zealous and ardent; very devoted. 
VERY LARGE, Yours is a very ardent fancy, seeing things in bright^ 

vivid, scarlet colors. Your mind flashes and scintilates. 

The structures which, in excess, determine these temperaments, exist in 
each individual. In one p rson one temperament may predominate — in the 
next another. Experience proves that they can be, by proper training, essen- 
tially modified, particularly in youth. But the terms by which the tempera- 
ments are indicated are often misunderstood. Sanguine has been mistaken for 
buoyancy of spirits, bilious for tendency to bilious diseases, and nervous for a 
derangement of the nervous system. Individuals should, therefore, guard 
against these prevalent errors, by carefully studying the nature and philosophy 
of the temperaments and their combinations, which they will find both highly 
interesting and instructive. 

Phrenology teaches not only the use, and action of the brain, but its relation 
to the physiology of the entire system, showing that to make a perfect man 
there must be a " sound mind in a healthy body." 

The brain is the complex machinery of the mind. The center and focus of 
all thought and sensation ; the mysterious, organized battery of the soul. Ac- 
tivity, quality and size are the measure of mental power. Texture, Education, 
and Temperaments invariably govern the manifestations of the intellect. 

These constitute the triune, golden guide to character. 

The soul is ever struggling out of the body, shaping the features and mould- 
ing the physical form to suit its varied necessities; changing the convolutions 
of the brain, and configuration of the head. Thus the quickening spirit acts 
out and expresses its inner na:ure upon the external tabernacle, or house we 
live in, which is destined so soon to crumble away, and leave the naked soul to 
take its flight untrammeled by dust and clay. 

We can never judge of the real character without estimat'ng the energy and 
quality of Soul itself, as we have briefly endeavored to describe them in the 
foregoing pages. 

These energies, impulses, and subtle peculiarities of temperament are the 
living fires, the hidden enginery, the steam-generators which propel the intri- 
cate and beautiful machinery of the brain, where spirit and matter mysteriously 
unite, blended and interwoven in a mystic web, "fearfully and wonderfully 
made,"

PHRENO-ORGANS :— NATURAL CLASSIFICATION. 

DIRECTIVES, SOCIALS, AND IPSEALS 
THE PRIMITIVE GRAND DIVISIONS OF THE RRAIN. 

Duality. The brain and faculties of the mind are dual, as well as the func- 
tions of the body. 



Directives. 

The intellectual, knowing, and directing faculties occupy the forehead — the 
part of the brain uncovered with hair. They receive impressions through 
the external senses, transmit them to, and treasure them in the mind. They 
may be divivided into four genera, viz : 

PERCEPTIVES, RETENTIVES, REFLECTIVES, INTUIT1TES. 



GENUS FIRST: PERCEPTIVES. 

Located around the eyes ; relate te sight ; receive impressions through the 
large. senses, directly from external ob- small. 

jects, modify and transmit them to 
the conscious center in the medul- 
la oblongata, (sensory) where the 
mind is focalized in the organ of 
Consciousness, and operates in a 
mysterious way, not yet fully under- 
stood. These faculties take cogni. 
zance, through the senses, of all the 
phenomena of nature ; accumulate 
perceptives. facts and statistics ; are the source Reflectivfs. 

of the exact sciences ; give talent for practical business ; disposition to enter 
upon new enterprises, and experiment personally in the active realiiies of life 
They bring man into cod tact with the external world, lead him from the inner 
to the outer life, adapting him to its uses. 





Analysis of th$ Perceptives. 

Individuality. Power of observation ; ability to see many things at once, 
and make accurate distinctions. 

Form. Memory of shape of things. Ability to draw, draft or map ; mem- 
ory of faces and forms. 
-• ■ Size. Ability to judge of distance, bulk, hight, depth, breadth, magnitude 

Weight. Gives the idea of force, resistance, momentum, balancing, shoot-

everything. 

Calculation. Numerical computation; ability to reckon figures in the 
head ; also to plan, contrive, bring about results from given causes. 



AND COMPASS OF LIFE.

GENUS SECOND: RETENTIVE. 
Located immediately above the Pereeptives, give fulness to the central 
forehead, above the brow ; are the 
foundation of memory, history and 
knowledge. The memory also retains 
ideas when facts are presented to 
the mind. These constitute the store- 
house of the brain, where all the re- 
suits of experience, effort, discipline, 
suffering, in short, all the A r aried and

Analysis of the Metentives. 

Locality. Memory of places; desire to travel, see the world; ability to 
keep the point of compass. 

Eventuality. Memory of disconnected facts, incidental events ; details ; 
minutiae of things. 

Memory. Recollection of phenomena, circumstantial and historical'faets,

ability to talk. Capability of impressing others in conversation. 

Names- Located back of the eye. Memory of proper names ; crowds the

GENUS THIRD. REFLECTIVES. 
Reasoning and reflective faculties, located above Memory, give breadth 

and depth to the upper forehead and 

receive impressions from the other 

organs, through the central mind, or 

sensation. They enable the mind to 

perceive the relation of thing-, — to 

know the why and wherefore, — to 

analyze, criticise, and discriminate. 

The)' constitute the scale, guage, and 

lever of the mind : give judgment, dc- 
large. sire ;o study into causes and effects; small. 

weigh and measure all things in the balance of reason. Give taste and talent 
for metaphysical science; investigate laws and principles, contrive, create, 
a#d originate ideas. Are the God in man, bringing order out of chaos, and 
shaping the world to his creative will.

vation to the forehead, act as the illu- 
minators of the soul, reaching higher 
and farther than reason. They deal 
with the immaterial and the spiritual ; 
give evidence of the immortality of 
man, and the reality of spiritual life ; 
take cognizance of spiritual phenome- 
na, constitute the eyes of the soul, the 
organs of instinct and faith, the evi- 
lakge. dence of things not seen ; bring man' 

in rapport with the heavens, with invisible intelligences, and the Creator. 

Analysis of the Intuitive Faculties. 

Spirituality. Inspiration, instinctive spiritual aspiration ; interior spiri- 
tual perception. The highest faculty in man. 

Faith. Innate desire to understand, and confidence in invisible realities ; 
internal evidence of the essence of truth ; trust in Providence.

REMARKS ON THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE IPSEALS. 

The rule which should be our guide in a scientific classification of natural 

objects, is, to arrange together those things which bear the nearest affinity and 

analogy to each other. I conceive that the perfection of any science depends 

almost entirely on the success of its founders in the arrangement, classification

and nomenclature of its elements : for this reason I have always been solicitous 
to discover the natural foundation for a systematic arrangement and correct 
nomenclature of the Phreno-organs. In considering the \f hole Ipseal class I 
think I have discovered that from Pneumativeness to Hopefulness there is a 
regular succession and order of development which a philosophic mind could 
not easily mistake ; that these organs are connected as a natural chain, consist- 
ing of twelve or more links, each of wLich, upon a careful analysis, is found to 
bear the Ipseal character, and to have an undoubted right to be admitted into 
the family of Ipseal organs. Again, it is evident that the first three Ipseals 
have one feature in common which is not possessed by any other organs of this 
class, namely that they directly relate to corporeal, Ipseal wants. 

Socials- 

Which originate actions relating to society and all intelligent beings. 
They are sub-divided into four species. 

SPECIES I: PROCREATIVES. 
Foundation of love and physical attraction ; disposition and desire to mul- 
tiply and replenish the earth. Gen, 1. 28. Desire to live and create life, to 
move and have a being. Located in the center of the cerebellum or little back 
brain, give depth and breadth to the same ; are the centerstance, fulcrum, and 
essence of society ; constitute the physical, or first heaven, These lie at the 
foundation of the race, first in the scale of being. 

Analysis of the Procreatives. 
Amativeness. Physical and sexual love. Fondness, attraction and passion 
for the opposite sex. 

Conjugal Love. Union for life. The pairing instinct. Chaste, exclusive 
love. Desire to marry, 

Parenttveness. Parental affection; desire to propagate. 
Equimotiveness. Center of physical and muscular motion; ability to 
move. Restlessness, muscular activity. 

Vitativeness. Love of existence as such. The d-pead of death and annihi- 
lation ; tends to repel disease. 

Sanativeness. Desire to avoid the causes of pain and disease ; dread of 
wounds, sickness, personal injury, etc. 

Ex-Sanativexess. Relates to the healthy discharge of the excretory func- 
tions. Gives delicacy, modesty in regard to excrementory subjects. 

SPECIES II: ESTABLISHING, ORGANIZING GROUP. 
Located above the Proc: eatives, back of the middle head, above the ears. 
Gives domestic and social attrac- 
tions : establishes homes and lam- 
ilies ; organizes society into com- 
munities, tribes, etc. Focalizes 
and concentrates the mind ; is the 
foundation of all society ; the en- 
crgizer and builder-up of every- 
day life, the fruitful seed which 
germinates in the healthy com- 
large. mingling of men and nations, and small. 

in its more extended aspect results in commerce, national intercourse, business 
relations, and all the arrangements of what is misnamed artificial life, which

knit the world together, proving the kinship of man with man. The term Do- 
mestic, generally applied to this group, is of too limited significance. 

Analysis of the Social Organizers. 

Friendship. Sociability, love of company, society and social intercourse ; 
union of friends. 

Filial Love Family friendship ; love of choice and intimate friends ; ex- 
clusive and particular, 

Inhabitiveness. Patriotism, attachment to country and home ; desire to 
dwell in one place. 

Continuity. Application and patience ; inclination to finish up.

tinct and connected ; connect things. 

Philoprogenitiveness. Love of children ; care of offspring ; makes one's 
own children nearer and dearer than anything else on earth ; desire to be with, 
amuse and instruct them. Love of pets, — young, innocent, helpless creatures. 

SPECIES III: ASPIRING AND GOVERNING GROUP, 
Foundation of government, political institutions ; desire to control and 
direct the affairs of church and state, gives a dignified, lofty, aspiring disposi- 
gen. halleck. tion; creates the love of liberty, justice, independ? 

ence ; is the center and focus of will power. Lo- 
cated in the crown of the head ; gives elevation 
above, and a little back of the ear, as seen in the 
annexed head of Gen. Halleck. This group of facul- 
ties is clearly marked in all military men who at- 
tain eminence or position, their- profession being 
peculiarly adapted for calling it into action. But 
the development of these organs is no less neces- 
sary in all professions, trades, etc., where those 
large. engaged in them desire to attain power or influence. 

These are the kingly qualities ; the indisputable evidences of a right to reign. 
Analysis of the Governing Organs. 
Approbativeness. Sense of character, popularity^ fame, dress, display. 
Ambition. Pride, rivalry ; desire to excel, to gain position and influence; 
love of competition. 

Self-Esteem, Self-respect, dignity, self-reliance ; desire to control.

ship and adore the Supreme Being ; submit to the Divine will. Creates as- 
piration, hope and charitj", the highest and holiest virtues, the best and truest 
gifts; developes a meek and quiet spirit, which is, in the sight of God " of 
great price." These are the fountain of love and unity; the harmonizers, the 
humanizers, the peacemakers, whose is the kingdom of heaven.

These adapt man to the condition of things, adorn, and elevate hifl nature; 
render him a moral, accountable, and religious being ; beget aspiration fl after 
goodness, virtue, justice, purity, correct principles a higher and holier state, 
both in this life and that which is 
to come. When this class of organs 
is large, the top-head is high, long 
and broad ; when small, the head is 
short, narrow, and low at the top, 
as seen in the head of the Malefac- 
tor, in contrast with that of Gali- 
leo, in which the moral sentiments 
are largely developed, giving the 
forehead a clear, spiritual aspect. 

Analysis of the Devotional Group. 
Worship, adoration, devotion, innate sense of a superintend- 





Respect for persons, age, opinions, superiors ; ancient things, 

desire to do good 



Veneration.

Deference. 
precedents, etc. 

Benevolence. Charity, generosity, kindness, sympathy ; 
and make others happy. 

Retrospection, Delight in reviewing the past, its hopes and associations ; 
tends to reflection, 

Sharpness. Exercise thins the skull, and renders the organs sharp and ten- 
der, gives intensity. 

SENSORITJM. 
A central organ of consciousness, located in the medulla oblongata, at the 
point where the fibers of the brain converge, and where all the nerves of voli- 
tion and sensation communicate and connect with the brain and each other. 
Consciousness. Sense of life ; center of the nervous system. 
Each organ of the brain when excited either impels to action or directs ac- 
tion, and at the same time excites the mind, evolving ideas and emotions pecu- 
liar to the organ excited. 

IMPULSIVES. 
The blind, impulsive faculties of our nature occupy the side, back, and top 
of the head, the part covered with hair. 

We divide the impulsive organs into Ipseals and Socials, and sub-divide 
them into Ranges and Groups, 

The Ipseal organs impel to those 
acts, and produce those feelings 
which relate exclusively to the ad- 
vantage of self. These faculties 
are denominated Ipseals, from the 
Latin word "ipse," self; they oc- 
cupy the side-brain, give thickness 
to the head, are the propelling pow- 
ers of the mind, adding physical 
large. fores, strength and energy to its small. 

mental, moral and spiritual elements, linking man's highest to his lowest nature, 
and enabling the subtile essence of the Soul to manifest itself through matter.

DEVELOPMENTS FOR PARTICULAR PURSUITS 

Lawyers require the mental-vital temperament, to give them intensity of 
feeling and clearness of intellect ; large Eventuality, to recall law cases and 
decisions; large Comparison, to compare different parts of the law and 
evidence — to criticise, cross-question, illustrate, and adduce similar cases ; and 
large Language, to give freedom of speech. Phrenology will tell you how to 
acquire and use these faculties. Try it. 

Statesmen require large and well-balanced intellects, to enable them to 
understand and see through great public measures and choose the best course, 
together with high moral heads, to make them disinterested, and seek the 
people's good, not selfish ends. 

Physicians require large Perceptive Faculties, so that they may study 
and apply a knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology with skill and success ; 
full Destructivenes3, lest they shrink from inflicting the pain requisite to cure, 
large Constructiveness, to give them skill in surgery ; large Combativeness to 
render them resolute and prompt ; large Cautiousness, to render them judi- 
cious and safe ; and a large head, to give them general power of mind. Phre- 
nology will predict with certainty whether or not a boy will succeed in this 
profession. The same is true of dentistry. 

A Clergyman requires the mental temperament, to give him a decided pre- 
dominance of mind over his animal propensities ; a large frontal and coronal 
region, the former to give him intellectual capacity, and the latter to impart 
high moral worth, aims, and feelings, elevation of character, and blamelessness 
of conduct ; large Veneration, Hope, and Spirituality, to imbue him with the 
spirit of faith and devotion ; large Benevolence and Adhesiveness, so that he 
may make all who know him love him, and thus win them over to the paths of 
truth and righteousness. Clergymen will do well to consult Phrenology ; it 
will enable them to account for many seeming mysteries, and give them power 
and influence to do great good. It is in harmony with the highest Christianity. 

Editors also require a mental temperament, with large Individuality and 
Eventuality, to collect and disseminate incidents, facts, news, and give a prac- 
tical cast of mind ; large Comparison, to enable them to illustrate, criticise, 
show up errors, and the like ; full or large Combativeness, to render them spi- 
rited ; large Language, to render them copious, free, spicy, and racy ; axd large 
Ideality, to give taste and elevated sentiments. An Editor who understands 
and applies Phrenology possesses a power which he may use with great effect. 



48 WICKES' PHRSNO-CHART. 

Merchants require Acquisitiveness to impart a desire and tact for busi- 
ness ; large Hope to promote enterprise ; full Cautiousness to render them safe ; 
large Perceptives, to give quick and correct judgment of the qualities of goods ; 
good Calculation, to impart rapidity and correctness in casting accounts ; large 
Approbativeness, to render them courteous and affable ; and full Adhesiveness, 
to enable them to make friends of customers, and thus retain them. Why is 
one young man a better salesman than another ? and why is one better worth 
a salary twice the amount than another I Phrenology answers this by pointing 
out the constitutional differences, and showing who is and who is not adapted 
to mercantile life. You had better consult it. 

Mechanics require strong constitutions, to give them muscular power and 
love of labor ; large Constructiveness and Imitation, to enable them to use 
tools with dexterity, work after a pattern, and easily learn to do what they may 
see others do ; and large perceptive faculties, to give the required judgment of 
matter, and the fitness of things.

bis people. 

In constitution and temperament — Your mother, or her people— Your fa- 
ther, or his people. 

In mind and inclination — Your mother, or her people — Your father, or hia 
people. 

You are from a mixed race. 

PHYSIOGNOMY A TRUE SCIENCE. 

That Nature has instituted a Science of Physiognomy, as a facial expres- 
sion of mind and character, is proclaimed by the very instincts of men and ani-^ 



AND COMPASS OF LIFE. 49 

mals. The very dog can read the thoughts and intentions of his master ; ran 
tell whether he is pleased or displeased ; knows who will make a good, and who 
a cruel master — all by the expressions of the countenance. Nature compels all 
her productions to proclaim their interior virtues and vices. 

The countenance is so plain an index of character that he who runs may 
read. One look expresses anger, another affection, another kindness, etc. We 
express all our mental operations, even to the innermost recesses of our souls, 
through our countenances, with more minuteness and completeness than by 
words, especially when the expressions are intense and peculiar. 

Spirits converse mainly by this method of expression ; they look and act 
their emotions, instead of talking them. The countenance expresses a great- 
er amount of thought and feeling, together with the nicer shades and phases, 
than words can possibly communicate, by means of magnetic centers, called 
poles. Every physical and mental organ has its pole in a certain part of the 
face. The action of these organs influences the poles, and contracts the faciarl 
muscles, which utter the silent language of the soul. There exists an inti- 
mate relationship between the stomach and one part, of the face, the lungs 
and another. Consumptive patients always have a hectic flush on the cheek, 
just externally from the lower portion of the nose. Inactive lungs cause pale- 
ness, healthy ones the rosy cheek. Dyspeptic patients are always lank and 
thin opposite the double teefh. while those whose digestion is good have full 
cheeks. Every organ of the body must have a pole in the face, through 
which it can express its wants and necessities. The magnetic pole of the 
heart is in the chin — when vigorous produces prominent chins, and vice versa. 
The beard is intended as a shield and protection to these very poles, and 
cannot be amputated with impunity ; it also protects the face and chest, es- 
pecially of elderly men. All the Phreno-orgaUs have their poles, or magnetic 
qualifying points, in the features. The pole of Acquisitiveness is located on 
each side of the middle portion of the nose, at its junction with the cheek, 
causing breadth of nose in proportion to the grasping instincts, as in the Jews, 
while a narrow nose indicates a want of speculative tendency. Firmness 
is indicated by the length, prominence and compression of the upper lip, 
hence the expression, "keep a stiff upper lip'' Self esteem has its pole 
externally from that of firmness, and between the outer portion of the 
nose and mouth, causing a fulness of the upper lip. The affections have 
their poles in the edges of the lips, hence the philosophy of kissing. The pole 
of mirthfulness is located outward and upward from the outer corners of the 
mouth, hence the drawing up of these corners in laughter, Approbativeness 
has its pole directly ontward from these corners ; it draws the mouth back- 
ward or outward. Like locations are assigned to all the organs. Physiog- 
nomy is a true science ; it is an unquestionable truth that fixed and absolute 
relations exist between the Phreno-organs and certain portions of the face. 
By these and other means the inherent character of every living being and 
thing gushes out through every organ of the body, erery avenue of the soul. 
There can be no deception ; nature always speaks the truth. To understand 
and be able to apply Phreno-physiognomy is a gift worth more than Actor's 
millions*

From the Burlington Free Press. 
^ The audiences at Prof. Wickes' lectures are rapidly Increasing, ai d much 
interest is manifested. His last lecture on the Science of the Soul was very 
fully attended, and attentively listened to. We have seen a large collection of 
testimonials to the value and interest of his lectures. Prof. Wickes is spoken 
of by our contemporaries as of animated delivery and eminently original ideas. 
We notice Prof. Wickes' lectures well spoken of elsewhere. The ' Bennington 
Banner' says : 'A good deal of interest has been created by Prof. Wickes as a 
Phrenologist and Physiognomist. He appears perfectly at home. From the 
two lectures we have heard we are perfectly satisfied that the word ' Humbug' 
does not belong to him. The ' Rutland Herald' says : « His lectures, combining 
Phrenology with Physiognomy and other kindred subjects, and accompanied 
by public examinations, are very instructive and unusually interesting. 

From the Burlington Sentinel. 
Prof. Wtckfs is handsomely spoken of in our state exchanges. He has al- 
ready delivered several lectures here, which have been even more largely at- 
tended than were those of Prof. Fowler upon similar subjects. Prof. Wickes' 
lectures are extremely interesting, and will well repay listening to. 

* 

From the Burlington Times. 
Prof. Wickes' third lecture here on the Science of Mind, was elaborated 
with a lucidity eminently befitting the subject, which was illustrated by many 
recondite and rare pictures adorning the walls of the Hall. Some examina- 
tions and delineations of character were given, greatly to the amusement and 
edification of the audience. The Professor is animated in his delivery, and 
eminently original in his ideas. His afternoon lectures to ladies are highly 
commended by them, as we see by testimonials shown us. The lectures are il- 
lustrated by an immense number of drawings, paintings and photographs. 

# 

From the Ladies of Burlington, Vt. 
Having attended a course of Lectures to the Ladies by Prof. E. Z. Wickes, 
we have been highly interested and instructed. They app< ar to embrace the 
whole duty of woman, and are unexceptionable in every respect. We therefore 
cheerfully recommend him to ladies wherever he may go, as a gentleman, a 
scholar, and a public benefactor. The facility with which he delineates char- 
acter by his new system of Phreno-Physiognomy is astonishing to all. 

Signed by many Ladies.

From the Neio York Herald. 
Rev. Prof. Wickes has returned from his lecturing tour in Vermont, where 
he has been received with very great favor, as seen by the eulogies of the press 
throughout the State. This intuitive Phrenologist and Physiognomist, author 
of the • Illustrated Chart and Compass of Life,' and the new system of Phreno- 
Physiognomy, will answer calls to lecture on the Science of Mind, illustrated by 
an immense number of drawings, paintings, and photographs of the most dis- 
tinguished individuals of all ages and nations. 



.From the Orange Journal. 
Prof. E. Z. Wickes has closed his course of twelve lectures in this place 
to a large, highly intelligent, and greatly interested audience, He has re- 
ceived great encouragement in this place, besieged with applicants for Phreno- 
Charts, counsel', and medical advice. His ability to delineate character stands 
unrivalled. We are well acquainted with the character of many persons who 
have been examined physically and mentally by the Professor, and have been 
surprised at the truthfulness of the delineations. He has established a free li- 
brary during his protracted and successful labors in the city of Newark. 

From the Jlahtvag Register. 
Prof, E. Z. Wickes, Author of the Illustrated Phreno-Chart and Compass 
of Life, whose Lectures form the theme of editorial comment in every direction, 
appears to have given the greatest satisfaction as a Lecturer, wherever it has 
been his lot to hold forth in that capacity. On the subjects of Phrenology and 
Physiognomy Prof. Wickes has evidently bestowed much pains and study, and 
the very striking and or ginal manner in which he illustrates and brings to bear 
beforean audience the great principles of the two sciences respectively, is spo- 
ken of in termsof enthusiastic praise by the press generally. If editorial testi 
mony, and that of the most respectable character, is to be considered reliable, 
then we are fully justified in the inference that the subject of this notice is one 
of the most original, interesting and successful lecturers that has ever appeared 
in our midst. Such a mass of editorial testimony, in behalf of any individual 
we have rarely seen. 

From the Democrat and Republican. 
Prof- Wickes, an eminent Phrenologist and Physiognomist, author of the 
Illustrated Phreno-Chart and Compass of Life, comes highly recommended 
by eminent men, the clergy and the press. We have seen a large collection 
of testimonials from ladies and editors, to the value and interest of his Lec- 
tures. The New York Tribune and Herald say: *■ Prof. Wickes has re- 
turned from his lecturing tour in Vermont, where he has been received with 
very great favor, as can be seen from the eulogies of the press throughout the 
state,-' The Orange Journal says: "Prof. Wickes closed his course of 
twelve lectures here, to a large, intelligent, and highly interested audience.' 
His ability to delineate character stands unrivalled. He is said to be earnest 
and animated in his delivery, and eminently original in his ideas, and we have 
no hesitation in recommending him to our citizens. All are cordially invite^ 
to attend.
